#90 of 139 1999 AVALON TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT by rstuck Nov 04, 2006 (10:00 am)
Traction control off light comes on when car is running. ABS is off.Trac on /off switch is O.K. What might make this light stay on? Replies to this message: jayminer (Nov 30, 2006 8:14 am) steve326a (Nov 30, 2006 12:05 pm) jayminer (Nov 30, 2006 12:20 pm)
#91 of 139 Washer Pump replacement by abfisch Nov 29, 2006 (8:05 am)
Forum:   My washer pump is not working. 86K on 02 car. Wipers work so it is not the fuse (25A). Pump located underneath car. Can someone go through how to do it yourself if they have before. If not, I will do it myself on Saturday. No way to access pump from engine bay. Toyota wanted $60, Advance Auto $33, and NAPA $26.   abfisch

Replying to: rstuck (Nov 04, 2006 10:00 am) Usually happens when an error code is stored. Anytime the engine has a problem, the ECM detects it and shuts off the trac control. Don't know why Toyota did that. Check for an error code 1st. Also, does it come on after you start the engine like within 3 seconds or so, or does it come on while driving?   Steve Replies to this message: jayminer (Nov 30, 2006 12:20 pm)

Replying to: steve326a (Nov 30, 2006 12:05 pm) It comes on when the car is started and yes my check engine light just came on then the trac off light came on right after and has been on ever since. I will have to check for code errors I believe it might be an oxygen sensor.   Jay
#95 of 139 2000 Toyota Avalon Alternator by 2ktoy Jan 04, 2007 (12:34 pm)
Recently purchased a 2000 Toyota Avalon XL 80K miles on this baby, when I start the car at night to go work I notice the lights tends to slightly flicker, head lights, inside lights and dash board lights not very noticeable, but just enought to get your attention. Engine clean, batterys cables clean, I was wondering if it's the Alternator going or this comes with age and miles? thanks.

Replying to: 2ktoy (Jan 04, 2007 12:34 pm) Do the lights flicker just one time and never again? Shortly after you first start the car the ABS unit does a self test, I did notice on my '03 XL that when I started it at night with the dash lights on I would get a little flicker when I heard the self test, much like the lights in your house dimming when the Air conditioner or Fridge cycles on.

#98 of 139 seat belt chimes by rpfingsten Jan 07, 2007 (12:02 am)
ok boys help me out here... when I bought my 07 avy the only thing I hated about it was the fact that the seat belt chime would ring 59 times before shutting off. then someone on this board sent me instructions on how to bypass the chimes and it worked perfectly.. but almost immediately after doing that I noticed a light on the dash that I never noticed before. over to the right on the dash, when i first start my engine, there is a light that says "passenger", just below that are two icons that look like seats.. as you're looking at the dash, the icon on the left says "off", the icon on the right says "on". does that mean when I bypassed the seat belt chime that I also turned off my drivers side air bag? and if so, can I turn it back on by repeating the process I used to bypass the seatbelt chime...heck, I'll start wearing the damn seatbelt if I have to, but i sure dont want to travel without that airbag on. any help you can offer will certainly be appreciated... thanks.   Roland Replies to this message: tjc78 (Jan 07, 2007 8:34 am) rpfingsten (Jan 12, 2007 5:14 am) tjc78 (Jan 12, 2007 1:49 pm) and 3 more...

Replying to: rpfingsten (Jan 07, 2007 12:02 am) It may have been me that gave you the instructions. But the light you are seeing has to do with the newer generation airbags. If there is not enough weight in the seat (i.e. small child) the light will read "airbag off" When an adult sits in the seat it will change to "airbag on." Try this, when sitting in the driver's seat press hard on the passenger side seat bottom, the light will switch to "airbag on" This is the way it works on my '06 and my seat belt chime has been disabled since the second day I owned the car.
